... and yet another update.
During the holidays I took a break from this project, but I have picked it up again the last few weeks. I reckon that about 90% of the animation has been shot. I still have to animate about 13 scenes for which i will have to build 2 rather large sets. After that the following is still on my ToDo list:
- Video Postprocessing (a lot of it!!!). Have to to some masking, but mainly a lot of GiMP drawing and stuff.
- Audio Postprocessing. I have done a first sweep of all the lines I got, normalizing the audio files, so they are all equal in volume. But after that I still have a lot of post processing to do in the form of "helmetizing" (making it sound from the inside of a helmet), and some "radio-izing" (making it sound like coming from a low quality radio transmission). I already recorded some special effect sounds, but probably have to record some more.
- Soundtrack. Haven't really thought of that yet, but I have to find someone who is willing the write and record a convincing soundtrack for this film... for free... (no budget there). I'll probably create a soundtrack-less version of the film to show to potential composers...
- Editting. And then I still have to edit the whole thing together....
In case anybody is interested: the project folder on my mac is currently 36 Gb large. That includes the animation, lines, images, script, basically everything.
Keep you guys posted!
